The Australian film industry has its beginnings with the 1906 production of ''The Story of the Kelly Gang'', the earliest feature film ever made. Since then, many films have been produced in Australia, a number of which have received international recognition. Many actors and filmmakers started their careers in Australian films, a large number of whom have acquired international reputations, and a number of whom have found greater financial benefits in careers in larger film producing centers, such as in the United States. Cinema in Australia began with the first public screenings of films in Australia in October 1896, within a year of the world's first screening in Paris by Lumière brothers. The first Australian exhibition took place at the Athenaeum Hall in Collins Street, Melbourne, to provide alternative entertainment for the dance hall patrons. The venue would continue screenings, but these were all short films. Commercially successful Australian films have included Paul Hogan's ''"Crocodile" Dundee'', Baz Luhrmann's ''Moulin Rouge!'' and Chris Noonan's ''Babe''. Other award winning productions include ''Picnic at Hanging Rock'', ''Gallipoli'', ''The Tracker'', ''Shine'' and ''Ten Canoes''. Australian actors of renown include Errol Flynn, Peter Finch, Rod Taylor, Mel Gibson, Guy Pearce, Nicole Kidman, Geoffrey Rush, Toni Collette, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Eric Bana, Cate Blanchett, Heath Ledger, Naomi Watts, Chris Hemsworth, Liam Hemsworth and Sam Worthington. == History == The Australian film history has been characterized as one of 'boom and bust' due to the unstable and cyclical nature of its industry; there have been deep troughs when few films were made for decades and high peaks when a glut of films reached the market.〔David Stratton, ''The Avocado Plantation: Boom and Bust in the Australian Film Industry'', Sydney: Pan Macmillan, 1990〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cinema of Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
